Selaedin Maksut, Executive Director NJ-CAIR Initial Assessment of Incoming Trump in Fund Letter
Donald Trump is headed back to the White House. We know what this means: our community will face some of the most challenging years yet. Trump’s policies and rhetoric have a clear agenda, and they threaten us from every direction, from families seeking refuge to students voicing their right to speak up.
The stakes are high. Project 2025 aims to dramatically restrict Muslim immigration, making it harder for immigrants to find safety and opportunity here. Trump’s endorsement of Israel’s genocide in Gaza only intensifies the violence against our brothers and sisters abroad. And here at home, students are being silenced for standing up for Palestine, with crackdowns on those who demand justice. Exec Dir Seladin Maksut, NJ-CAIR

Assalaamu Alaikum,
Dear community,
Donald Trump is headed back to the White House. We know what this means: our community will face some of the most challenging years yet. Trump’s policies and rhetoric have a clear agenda, and they threaten us from every direction, from families seeking refuge to students voicing their right to speak up.
The stakes are high. Project 2025 aims to dramatically restrict Muslim immigration, making it harder for immigrants to find safety and opportunity here. Trump’s endorsement of Israel’s genocide in Gaza only intensifies the violence against our brothers and sisters abroad. And here at home, students are being silenced for standing up for Palestine, with crackdowns on those who demand justice.
